ABOUT

Hi,

Welcome to Charleston Vacay!

I'm Michael Gonzales, an airline pilot by profession and a passionate traveler at heart. My journey has taken me across the globe, allowing me to explore some of the most fascinating destinations the world has to offer. But of all the places I've been, Charleston holds a special place in my heart. It's a city where history, culture, and modernity blend seamlessly, and I've created this platform to share that magic with you.

Flying thousands of feet above the earth gives one a unique perspective on the world, but it's the up-close and personal experiences that truly shape our understanding of a place. My travels are not just about ticking boxes off a list; they're about immersing myself in the local culture, savoring the cuisine, and creating connections that last a lifetime.

Charleston Vacay is a culmination of my adventures and discoveries in this historic city. From strolling the cobblestone streets to exploring the lush plantations, each experience has been carefully curated to offer you insights into making the most of your Charleston adventure. Whether you're drawn to the haunting beauty of the old mansions, the rich history of Fort Sumter, or the vibrant culinary scene of King Street, I'm here to guide you through.

On this platform, you'll find:

  • Expert Travel Tips: Leveraging my experience as an airline pilot and a seasoned traveler, I share insider advice on navigating Charleston like a local.
  • Unique Itineraries: Discover itineraries that break away from the typical tourist trails, designed to enrich your travel experience.
  • Accommodation and Dining Guides: From charming bed and breakfasts to must-try restaurants, find recommendations that cater to every taste and budget.
  • Adventure Guides: For those seeking a thrill, explore my guides covering water sports, historical tours, and other activities that showcase the city's natural and historical beauty.

Travel, for me, is about the joy of discovery and the freedom to explore. Through Charleston Vacay, I aim to inspire you to embark on your own journey of exploration in this enchanting city. Join me as we uncover the hidden gems, the storied streets, and the spirited culture of Charleston.

Happy travels,

Michael Gonzales
